      Yeah, I saw I had a message this morning but didn't have time to check it before work. I'll be downloading Mario Kart 64 as soon as I can!

          Contra III was the last good Contra.

          Contra: Shattered Soldier & Neo Contra were ok.

          IGN VC Review

          "Contra III is arguably the best installment in the Contra series, as it polished the gameplay of the earlier titles and kicked up the action energy even higher than before. Its only drawback is its length – The Alien Wars only lasts for six levels, which is not a deep experience by any stretch of logic. You'll likely have a blast playing this one, as so many gamers did back in 1992, but it won't keep you satisfied for long. Harder difficulty settings and the ability to adjust the starting number of lives (maximum of seven) help to offset the short scope a bit.

          Closing Comments
          Contra III proves that priorities have shifted in the industry over the past 15 years – for a new title to ship with only six levels today would be laughable. But the six levels that are here are jam-packed, focused and a lot of fun, especially when played together with a friend. They're also tough as nails, especially on the more extreme difficulty settings, so getting through to the end may take a lot of trial, error and repetition of the same half-dozen stages. If you don't mind a shorter shooter and aren't frustrated by a true challenge, cash in your Wii Points – 800 will get you a ticket to a war-torn tomorrow. (But not 30 lives when you get there.)

            I bought it tonight. We didn't really have time to play it before going out for my wife's birthday though. She did one race, easiest level, and won it. Then we turned it off. Hopefully I'll have more time with it in the coming days.

              I downloaded Mario Kart. Pretty fun game. I'll have to get a classic controller soon so I can play multiplayer.

                    WII-KLY UPDATE: THREE NEW CLASSIC GAMES ANNOUNCED FOR WII SHOP CHANNEL


                    Feb. 5, 2007

                    Today Nintendo adds three new classic games to the popular Wii™ video game system's Wii Shop Channel. The games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the channel every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are:

                    Super Mario World™ (Super NES®, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): During a vacation in Dinosaur Land, Princess Toadstool gets kidnapped and a spell is cast on the inhabitants of the island. When they stumble upon Yoshi™, a young dinosaur, Mario™ and Luigi learn that Bowser is responsible for the terrible misdeeds. Now, all Yoshis are trapped in magical eggs that Bowser has hidden throughout seven castles. Many hidden paths aid Mario in making his way to Bowser's castle, completing 74 areas and finding all 96 exits. Discover items, including a feather that gives Mario a cape that allows him to fly, or a flower that shoots fireballs in layers upon layers of 2-D scrolling landscapes. Players can even ride Yoshi and swallow their enemies.

                    VIGILANTE™ (TurboGrafx-16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points): Brave the streets of New York City in this side-scrolling beat-'em-up game. Thugs kidnap the beloved Madonna, and it's up to players to become vigilantes. Players fight their way into enemy territory to get her back. Enemies attack with weapons like iron pipes, chains, guns and motorcycles. To fight back, players can punch, kick or use the "nunchaku" item that appears in the stage. Players must use each of the attacks effectively to defeat their enemies. To clear a stage, defeat the boss that waits at the end. Players fight their way through exciting stages that include the City Streets, Junkyard, Brooklyn Bridge and the Backstreets.

                    Gain Ground™ (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): It's the 31st century, and science and technology have progressed to the point that the human race is approaching perfection: no war, no poverty and no conflict. With nothing to worry about, the human race seems destined to live forever in harmony. But what if Earth came under attack? By this point in time, people did not know how to cope with problems or conflicts, and had completely lost their survival instincts. In response to this, the United Earth Government created the Gain Ground system, a war simulator that would help humans rediscover their lost instincts. After several terrible malfunctions, the creators became prisoners in their own creation. Now it's up to players and two courageous comrades to go into the Gain Ground system, rescue their fellow humans and destroy the system. Players battle through different periods in history as they revive their survival instincts, while trying to live.

                        Vigilante was cool on the TG-16 back in the day. I had a blast playing this.

                            LOL! I'll admit, I owned a TG-16 back in the day.

                            Who are the first 4 owners?

                              I had one. I loved that system, too.

                              I know they aren't up yet, but can somebody please list the new games for today when they become available. This is the only good thing about Monday!!! I flat out LOVE this Virtual Console.
